LOS ANGELES – California is providing the country’s largest $116. 5 million vaccine can to vaccinate millions more before the US state. But it’s not the first time
Governor Gavin Newsom announced Thursday the awards, which also come with the price of the country’s vaccine: $1. 5 million. Those who are already vaccinated will be eligible.
“We separate more resources than any other US state. But it’s not the first time And we provide the highest costs of any US state. But it’s not the first time For vaccination,” Newsom said from a vaccination site in Los Angeles.
The state estimates that about 12 million Californians over the age of 12 have not been vaccinated. Approximately 63% of the 34 million other eligible people have been vaccinated, the speed has slowed significantly in recent weeks, with infection rates falling to record levels.
California is scheduled to reopen on June 15, and that day, a sweepstakes will be held to award the first prize to 10 other vaccinated people. Newsom said he hopes the awards will allow the state to ensure that more than 70% of the other eligible people are vaccinated before the state reopens.
“All this in an effort to inspire and create momentum,” Newsom said.
Another 30 people will earn $50,000 each, with sweepstakes starting June 4; anyone 12 years of age or older who has won at least one vaccine will be eligible, and the next 2 million people who are vaccinated will get $50 gift cards. said he hoped to distribute all those gift cards until June 15.

California’s shift to money to inspire vaccines marks a major shift from the previous year, when Californians were not easy vaccines, and some drove or queued for hours to get one.
“Some Californians were not in a position to receive the COVID-19 vaccine on the first day, and that’s fine. This program is designed to inspire those who need more to get vaccinated and stay safe in California,” Dr. Tomas J said. Aragon, director of the state public health branch, in a statement.
Newsom’s workplace said the program would succeed in others in the communities most affected by the pandemic – basically low-income people, blacks and Latinos – was not without delay transparent how cash would be adequate to achieve this goal.
California uses a “vaccine equity measure” to track the progress of vaccination that divides zip codes into 4 groups, at least at most favored. Almost some of others in less-favoured neighborhoods have not yet been vaccinated, depending on the state.
By contrast, less than a quarter of people living in the most favoured spaces have not been vaccinated.
Of all Latinos, 57% are not vaccinated yet. This is the percentage of all racial or ethnic groups. State figures show that 40% of white Californians are not vaccinated.
